Episode Notes

[2:01] Why Mandi focused on two or three time management tweaks instead of a complete productivity overhaul.

“That one tweak will shift so many other things. What happens is a very effortless transformation.”

“Systematize: what that often means is devaluing the service, making it a commoditized product. That’s something I don’t want to see happen.”

“There’s a mindset shift that happens between solo entrepreneur to having a team.”

[12:20] The most common problems 6-7 figures company founders struggle with. Why you should guarantee something in your service/product offering.

“Identifying a single product or service […] is what allows you to scale profits instead of scaling what you already have which is a mess.”

“When companies know who they can get the best results for, and what conditions have to apply for them to get these results, sells become effortless.”
